NOBLE Park firefighters have received a much-needed cash boost from Club Noble.
The Noble Park Football Social Club presented a cheque for $4000 to brigade captain Terence Sanford last month.
“We are working very closely with Club Noble and building a strong relationship,” Mr Sanford said.
Club Noble’s annual golf day, held at Keysborough Golf Club in March, raised just under $2000 for the brigade.
“The club was a little disappointed with that so they actually bumped it up to $4000,” Mr Sanford said.
“Anything that we need to purchase, any equipment or gear, we need to raise ourselves.
“To have $4000 donated to us is awesome.”
He said the brigade had not yet locked in a project but would be likely to use the cash to update truck equipment.
Club Noble president Barry Bradshaw said the CFA crew was a worthy recipient.
“We fund our affiliated sports clubs, but in the last few years we’ve been looking at broadening our philanthropic contributions,” he said.
“We try to pick recipients within the council area – our local area – that we think are worthy of some donations and we think the CFA does a fantastic job.
“Every year we pick a different group and we’ll continue to go on and sponsor them.
“Next year we’ll continue to give the CFA money though we’ll pick someone else as the recipient from the golf day.”
